Hu Jianping was overjoyed by the skyrocketing price of raw paint.
In just a few days, he made almost as much money as he had made in the past year.
This made him feel particularly good. In the past few days, he drank a few glasses of wine almost every day.
Of course, it's not just him. The business of brothels and restaurants in Yucheng has been particularly booming these days.
The money is so easy to come by. I queue up to buy raw lacquer in the morning, and in the evening, I can make several times the profit for nothing.
Two hundred guan of money turned into thousands of guan in one day. Many people never thought that this money could be earned so easily.
"It's from the shopkeeper! It's from the shopkeeper!"
Just when Hu Jianping was thinking about whether he should go to Baifeng Tower to have a good time tonight, the waiter suddenly ran in in a hurry.
"What are you doing! What's going on? How much has it increased this time?"
Hu Jianping drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, and then asked calmly.
"Shopkeeper, it's bad, it's gone down. The Deheng suddenly dropped a lot of money per catty!"
The guy said anxiously.
"W-what did you say? Fell? How is this possible?"
Cold sweat began to break out on Hu Jianping's forehead, and the faint worry in his heart suddenly came to mind.
This thing's recent price rise is unreasonable, but they are all blinded by the profits this thing brings.
So that no one has ever thought about why this thing has risen so much.
But it was different now. He suddenly felt like a disaster was coming.
The soaring price of raw lacquer has directly led to the soaring price of raw materials. Recently, in order to get more goods, they have been secretly raising the prices of raw materials one by one.
Now, the price of raw paint he gets every day has tripled from the previous purchase price.
If this thing suddenly drops back to its original price, then the thing in his hand will really be sold at a loss!
In fact, there was another thing that he didn't expect at all. The soaring price of raw lacquer has now caused a large amount of raw lacquer to flow into the hands of ordinary people.
This thing cannot be eaten or drunk. For ordinary people, it is simply trash, but for those who really need it.
For example, those lacquerware merchants and those real lacquerware masters are almost desperate now.
Their goods are to be sold overseas, which means that they themselves have no ability to turn these things into money and can only wait for acquisitions by big businessmen.
However, the skyrocketing price of raw materials directly led to the skyrocketing price of lacquerware. Many big businessmen had to choose to buy more silk and not buy or buy less lacquerware.
Over time, this has brought the downstream lacquer industry to the verge of death. Once they are finished and the storm is over, what will ordinary people do with lacquer?
To paint the coffin?
This is one of the reasons why Liu Deng is almost criticized the most, and it is also the reason why he has been hesitating until the three countries of Nanyue, Minyue, and Dongou participated in the inheritance of the throne.
"Shopkeeper, what should we do?"
The waiter looked at Hu Jianping in a daze and asked in a low voice.
"ah?"
"What should we do? This price..."
The guy looked at him carefully and asked again.
"drop!"
"Then shall we still purchase goods?"
The guy hesitated to speak.
"Of course you have to come in! At the original price!"
Hu Jianping took a deep breath. Although he felt uneasy, the money came so easily. Even though he felt something was wrong, he still couldn't help the greed in his heart.
After the waiter left, Hu Jianping began to feel uneasy. The dishes on the plate suddenly no longer tasted good.
The wine in the flask also began to lose its flavor, and he moved back and forth uneasily.
The price of raw lacquer touched everyone's heart. The price dropped for the first time in several days, directly falling by one-fifth of the total price.
This made those who were ready for a big fight break into cold sweats. Even the wife of the county magistrate began to frown today.
The money she held was not just her own, if she lost it all at once, she would be beheaded!
Countless people stayed up all night, and many people couldn't understand why this thing fell.
Countless people made up their minds and waited until dawn to sell what they had in hand.
No matter how you say it, the money you really get is yours.
Anyway, although I am still losing money, in the final analysis I still earned the money.
In the backyard of the Deheng, a large number of accountants were calculating with abacuses, and several shopkeepers were anxiously waiting for the results.
The reason why the Deheng Hao has been the leader in raw lacquer production in Panyu for so many years is that in addition to the huge power of their masters behind the scenes, a big reason is their prediction of the price of raw lacquer.
This is one of the reasons for their real longevity. Their pricing is not only to ensure that they have enough profits.
More importantly, they need to ensure that profits are balanced for all parties.
Because the scope of their master's industry is too large. To put it bluntly, it's just left hand and right hand. However, their respective accounts still have to look better!
When the output is certain, how much profit is required for each party and how much is the cost, this is the final pricing.
"Come out?"
When it got dark, the sound of abacus in the room finally stopped, and the big shopkeeper Zhao Youde hurriedly asked.
"After it comes out, it will continue to fall by 10%!"
It was not long before the general accountant came out with a list.
"You have to do the math clearly. If this thing is released, I'm afraid not all of it will fall!"
Zhao Youde was a little worried. Although the fluctuation in raw paint prices made them money, it also made him feel restless.
This was the first time in so many years that prices fluctuated so much. He never thought that even the aunt selling vegetables at the entrance of the alley could come to them to buy raw lacquer.
Moreover, this shot is a hundred punches!
Although this is nothing in their huge business, it is the life savings of the aunt and her family!
God knows how much they sold to raise the money!
"We have calculated that even if all the retail investors in this city sell all their hands, the loss will be 20% at most! In fact..."
The general accountant frowned and hesitated to speak.
"Actually what?"
Zhao Youde frowned and said.
"Actually, at least we are making money. Why are you so worried?"
"I can't tell you, it just feels a little bit wrong, forget it! Let it go!"
Zhao Youde was a little upset. His mind was in chaos. He clearly felt something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was.
People can only see their share of the cake, this is a common problem for everyone.
